Public bug reported: I have seen that happening randomly during the 20.04 development cycle, and I think more often in the last week or so, but never consistently: when I turn on my laptop, on the GDM greeter screen the keyboard layout that's selected is en-US, instead of my default preference (fr-bépo).
To give an example of the randomness, this is what I did this morning: 1) Cold booted my laptop, selected my user, typed my password, login got denied, looked at the keyboard layout indicator and realized it was en-US instead of fr-bépo 2) Selected fr-bépo in the indicator, typed my password again and successfully logged in (and indicator in the session remained fr-bépo as expected) 3) From the menu, rebooted laptop 4) On the GDM login screen, keyboard layout indicator was reverted to en-US, again 5) Changed indicator to fr-bépo, logged in, used gnome-terminal and apt to dist-upgrade, then rebooted laptop from menu 6) This time on the GDM login screen, my default preference (fr-bépo) was selected ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: gdm3 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-18.22-generic 5.4.24 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-18-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu21 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Mar 31 07:16:14 2020 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-07-02 (1367 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: gdm3 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2020-01-12 (78 days ago) ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal rls-ff-incoming ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues #462 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/462 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869836 Title: Login screen randomly reverts my default keyboard layout to en-US To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1869836/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
